Your customers are the driving force behind your most powerful messaging

You can help your customers connect with your brand and discover your product's value through personalized, timely, and impactful email communication.

At a glance, SaaS emails can seem relatively straightforward:1. If someone subscribes to your newsletter, get them to sign up for a free trial.
2. If they join the free trial, push them to become a paid user.
3. Once they become customers, turn them into power users and get them to an annual plan.
But when you get into the nitty gritty, things tend to get a bit muddier…🚫 What if the newsletter subscriber doesn’t try out your product?
🚫 What to do when a trial user isn’t engaging with your emails?
🚫 How to respond when your paid user stops using the product?
In other words…What to do if a customer doesn't do what you want them to?That’s when having someone who knows how to solve SaaS problems using emails can be a game changer.For your SaaS, that someone can be me :)Even the most successful SaaS companies have missing pieces in their email experience. These gaps result in lost revenue every single month.But they are also opportunities to supercharge your growth potential. All while building a strong foundation for a lasting relationship with your customers.Consider, how much of a difference a 5, 10, or 15 percent boost in your free to paid conversion rate make? Or what you could do if you retained even a few percent more of your customers?Having a proven process for solving these (and countless other) problems with email can do that. Especially if that process is built on the best practices of SaaS marketing juggernauts like Samar Owais and Joanna Wiebe.But to be effective, that process must begin with talking to your customers and understanding where they are, what they want to achieve, and the best path for them to get there.When you work with me, that's where we will start. The process includes:★ Diving deep into customer research using interviews and/or surveys to figure out exactly what’s holding your users back as well as how your best customers got where they are.
★ Creating a comprehensive map of your entire email journey, so there’s no confusion about where each email sequence fits in your marketing strategy.
★Creating compelling email sequences that don’t just fill space in your customers’ inboxes but solve specific problems for your business with long-term outcomes in mind.
★ Offering you valuable insights into your audience, segmentation, features, priorities, and a range of other aspects of growing a SaaS company the right way.
